HONOLULU T H TUESDAY MAY 27 1902
Honest Officer
Tells the Truth
Washington May 1 When tho
Senate Committee on tho Philippines
mot today Senator Lodge chairman
ot tho committee laid boforo tho com
mlttco tho report of Major Cornelius
Gardener Civil Governor of the Phil
ippine province of Tayabas to which
reference was made by General Miles
In his correspondence with Secretary
Root
This report had been withheld by
Secretary Root nnd this caused tho
adoption of a resolution at tho last
meeting of the committee requesting
tho Secretary ot War to send tho re
port to tho committee
Tho report Is dated December 1C
1901 and Is largely a review of the
conditions in tho province and tells
what was done In the way of a campaign
t
paign against the Insurgents
Tho Governor In lengthy detail
tells about what has bcen done and
then recommends that the operations
against tho insurgents should bo by a
force ot natives Ho has traveled all
over the province with no other escort
than natives In describing present
conditions ho says
As Civil Governor I feel it my duty
to say that it Is my Arm conviction
that tho Unltod States troops should
at the earliest opportunity be concen
trated In ono or wo garrisons It It Is
thought desirable that tho good sent
mont and loyalty that formerly exist
ed to tho United States Government
among tho people of this province
should bo conserved and encouraged
Doing In close touch with the people
having visited all tho pueblos ono or
moro times having lived With them In
their homos I know that such a senti
ment onco existed
Of late by reason of tho conduct of
tho troops such as tho extensive burn
ing of tho barrios In trying to lay
wasto the country so that tho Insur
gents cannot occupy It tho torturing
of natives by so called water cure and
other methods In order to obtain In
formation tho harsh treatment of na
tives gonerally and the falluro of in
experienced lately appointed lieuten
ants commanding posts fo distinguish
between those who arofrlondly and
thoso unfilendly nnd to treat ovory na
tive as If ho were whether or no an
lnsurrecto at heart this favorable sen
timent abovo referred to is being fast
destroyed and a deep hatred toward
us ongondored
If thoso things need bo dono thoy
had host bo dono by native- troops so
that tho people of tho Unltod States
will not bo credited therewith
Almost without exceptions sol
dloTBT and also many officers refer to
natives In their presonco as nigger
and natives aro beginning to under
stand what tho word nlggbr means
Tho course now being pursued In
this province and In tho provinces of
Datangas Lacuna and Samnr Is In
my opinion sowing tho soeds for a
uorpotunl revolution against us hore
after whenever a good opportunity of
fers Under present conditions tna
political situation In this province la
slowly retrograding and tho American
sentiment is decreasing and wo aro
dally making permanent enemies In
tho course abovo referred fo tho
troops make no distinction often be
tween the property of those natives
who are Insurgents or insurgent sym
pathizers and tho property of thoso
who heretoforo havo risked their lives
by being loyal to the United States
and giving us information against
their countrymen in arms Often ov
ory house In a barrio Is burned
The attitude of tho army that Is
meaning most of Its officers anil sot
dlers Is decidedly hostile to the pro
vincial and municipal government In
this province and to civil government
In these islands In general In Ma
nia especially It Is Intensely so even
among tho higher officers The vork
of the Commission In the establish
ment of provincial governments is ri
diculous even in presence of tho na
tives
it is openly stated that tho army A
fshould remain In charge for tho next
twenty ycar3
Outrages committed by officers and
soldiers In an organized municipality
and province when reported by tho
lrcsldento or Governor to the military
authorities are often not furnished
Thnrin my opinion is unfortunate
because loyal natives begin to fear
that local self government promised
them will not Inst long and that any
slight disturbance In a province may
at any time be made tho pretext to
again place It under military rule and
this Is just the thing the Insurgents at
heart most desire
It has been stated that a Filipino
or an Oriental does not appreciate
just or kindly treatment that ho con
siders It an ovidonco of weakness and
that scvero and Harsh measures aro
tho only ones that aro pdTmanently ef
fective with Filipinos I havo found
that just and kind treatment uniform
ed and continued Is tho only way by
which these peoplo can bo permanent
ly made our fi lends and satisfied with
United States sovereignty
Having boon stationed for six years
on the Rio Grando I am well acquaint
ed with tho natives ot tho Slato of
Tamaullpass Moxlco anil while sta
tioned In tho province of Santa Clara
Cuba I visited overy town in that pro
vince and was able to observo the in
telligence and education there I be
hove that tho peoplo of Tayabas pro
vince aro in every way superior in ed
ucation Intolllgonco morals and civ
ilization to tho peoplo of Tamaullpa8
or Santa Clara
As an officer of tho army I rcgrot
that my duty as Civil Governor of this
province Impels mo to state tho atti
tude of tho majority of my fellow of
ficers towrd civil government In these
islands and its effect upon tho peoplo
but I feel that tho Interests of the
government Involved and tho future
of these peoplo for whoso welfare wo
